One chapter focuses on industrial applications which have to meet both economical and ecological demands to remain competitive in the future. Latest results on the consequences of lipid peroxidation in age-dependent diseases , which range from Alzheimer and Parkinson disorders to diabetes, rheumatic arthritis, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases are also presented. I'm just a layman when it comes to chemistry but books with this type of abstract catch my attention. Here is another flag raiser. From a document reporting findings in workers exposed to solvents.

OUR HERO - 11/20/1996 - 4/30/2004 Dylan Samuel Freeman Welcome To My Home Page!!!!! My name is Dylan was 7 years old. He was diagnosed with Alexander's Disease at age 4. The purpose of his web site is to help educate as many people as possible about this rare known disease and hopefully raise funds for research, for a treatment or cure. Maybe the research can't help Dylan. but please continue to donate, so Dylan's friends can be saved Dylan Samuel Freeman November 20th 1996 April 30th 2004 Everyone who meets him out on the town calls him HOLLYWOOD; since he insists on wearing his sunglasses to protect his Beautiful Blue Eyes. Everyone he meets falls in love with him at first sight. He is so polite with his "Hi's, Pleases, and Thank you's". He never wants to see anyone upset and he tries to keep everyone around him happy. His beautiful smile will win your heart the minute you lay eyes on him. Dylan Samuel Freeman, son of Sam and Kathy Freeman, was born on November 20th, 1996 in Brandon, Fl. At the age of 18 months, we noticed that he was having trouble with his balance, but he finally learned to walk at age 2. His doctor mentioned the possibility of mild Cerebral Palsy and said he would probably grow out of it. As it became more noticeable in his speech, we took him to another Neurologist in January 2001 at age 4. He had an MRI done and the doctor dianosed Alexander Disease and advised us to get a second opinion, since this was something that he had only read about at Harvard, but had never seen before.

WHAT IS LEUKODYSTROPHY?
What is leukodystrophy? WHAT IS leukodystrophy? leukodystrophy is the name given to a group of inherited, progressive genetic disorders.
http://www.the-morgan-project.org/WHAT IS LEUKODYSTROPHY.htm

Extractions: thank you for helping to make the lives of disabled children a little bit better! HOME WELCOME ABOUT US OUR MISSION ... HOW YOU CAN HELP What is Leukodystrophy? WHAT IS LEUKODYSTROPHY? Leukodystrophy is the name given to a group of inherited, progressive genetic disorders. The name comes from the Greek 'leuko', meaning "white" and 'dystrophy' meaning "imperfect growth or development". The nerves in the human body are composed of two parts; the innermost section is called the axon, and is directly responsible for conveying nerve impulses from the brain. Surrounding the axon, rather like insulation around an electrical cord, is the myelin sheath, or 'white matter'. The sheath is made up of a variety of chemicals, and its protective covering is vital to the health and function of the nerve axon within. In Leukodystrophy, a mutation in one of the patient's genes affects the development of one of the multiple chemicals (there are at least 10) that make up the myelin sheath, preventing or inhibiting its development. Without this natural protection the nerve axons are unable to function correctly. Each form of Leukodystrophy affects a different element of the myelin sheath, causing a range of symptoms and affecting different parts of the nervous system, such as the spinal cord and the brain.

http://www.mississippichallenge.org/leukodystrophy.html

Extractions: Leukodystrophy refers to a group of genetic disorders that are characterized by the imperfect development or maintenance of the white matter (myelin sheath covering nerve fibers in the brain). The myelin sheath is an extremely complex fatty substance made of many components. Each of the leukodystrophies affects one of these components. The most common signs seen in most leukodystrophies include gradual changes in an infant or child who previously appeared well. Changes may appear in body tone, movements, gait, speech, ability to eat, vision, hearing, behavior, memory, or thought processes. The symptoms, which vary according to the specific type of leukodystrophy, may be difficult to recognize in the early stages of the disease.
